This course is designed for children. Parents may either enroll only their child, or purchase an additional spot to participate together. Please note: one registration covers the child alone, while two registrations are required if both parent and child will attend.
Over 4 weeks, children will explore the pottery wheel step by step. They will learn essential processes including wedging, centering clay, shaping different forms, and decorating their wheel-thrown pieces with textures, colors, and sculpting techniques. The course concludes with glazing, giving each child a complete introduction to the art of ceramics.
Let your child discover the joy of clay in this beginner-friendly course. Perfect for kids, siblings, or parent–child bonding time. No prior experience needed, just curiosity and imagination!
